The Art of Asking Questions


We ask questions a lot since our childhood. But the point is being able to ask right question at the right time for communication. Why Do We Ask Questions? 1. To gain information: Information transfer depends on questions. Who, what, where, when, why, how, how much are are questioning words for gathering information.

Why do we ask questions?


2. To stimulate conversation: For Socializing. How are you? Have you heard? Did you see? Can you believe? 3. To gain the others views:When you need to know what someone else is thinking, ask.

What do you think about...? Can you tell me how you feel about...?

Why do we ask questions?


4. To check agreement: What does other person think about. Do you think we are on the right track? Can you support this decision? Do you have any objections? How does this sound to you?

Why do we ask questions?


5.To build rapport and trust: Rapport and trust are built by showing support for the other persons goals and objectives. How can I help you? What would you like to accomplish? Tell me about your goals/dreams/objectives?
